The "Geyersche Binge", elsewhere known as Pinge, (may be translated as sinkhole) is a crater which was created by over-exploitation and neglect of necessary safety precautions in tin mine Geyersberg.

There were 2 collapses, and that in the years 1704 and 1803. Until now 2 more miners are buried under the rubble. Only the bedrock of the "Knauer" still sticking out of the cavity. Ore was mined here as early as 1361 - mainly tin, but also silver, copper and others.But how it came to a sudden collapse of the mining industry there? The hard granite was suffering from the decomposition method (chamber degradation) of fire setting, it lost its strength. Miners created voids of up to 40 meters in diameter and 35 meters high. This can be seen in many places. That's precisely the reason: too many and lying close together, the mine voids and passages were eventually collapsing.Today a teaching trail takes you through the crater. The Geyersche Binge, that was named after the mountain town Geyer, is a geological and mining scientifical monument, it has a diameter of about 200 - 250 and a depth of 50 - 60 meters. -rh

Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.Text by Steve Smith.
